The Ores and Coins mod adds a host of new mineable minerals to Minecraft. The player can smelt these ores to create new items, coins and armors. "There's Gold in Them Thar Hills" This is a very thorough upgrade to the preexisting ore set in the game. Adding Copper, Silver, Citrine, Amethyst, Sapphire and Ruby, there is no shortage of riches to be found in the mines and tunnels players will explore.

There is also a new prehistoric ore block which gives a few bones once mined.

Riches Fit for a King

The Ores and Coins mod for Minecraft gives players access to a greatly expanded armor and item set, lending a use to these new commodities. Building on the endurance and work speed increases in the vanilla ore set, this mod goes a long way to making time spent in the workshop more fruitful. It also lets players create coins, turning the crafting table into a kind of instant market. The smelted ingots can be crafted into coins,w hich then can be arranged on the crafting table to buy various items. For instance, five gold and one copper coin will produce an emerald when placed in the proper configuration. Diamonds, lapis, gun powder and redstone are all possible to purchase through this system. The coins themselves can even be upgraded or downgraded to the next ore value.

This mod has added a economy system to Minecraft which many players will find enriching. The implications for economic servers are compelling, as well. More ore in the ground means more reward for those long hours of digging, which almost anyone can appreciate.
